Baby beef feeding proves economy with calves outpacing older cattle
Experimental data from the Colorado station compares whitefaced calves with yearlings and two year olds of similar type. Calves finish slower but gain costs are lower, yielding higher net returns: calves $12.42 per head over feed costs versus $9.76 for yearlings and $7.63 for older cattle.

Beltsville Study Finds Forage Crops Benefit Sheep
An experiment at Beltsville Maryland shows forage crops provide unbroken feed for sheep replacing permanent grain pasture. Sheep thrived on a sequence starting with fall sown wheat rye and winter barley then oats mixed with Canadian field peas soybeans amiafer and corn and velvet beans. Low stomach worm issues observed. Proposes all year feed plan combining wheat with forage crops like kikuyu sudan grass and sweet clover. Kansas Agricultural College livestock specialist Doctor McCampbell sees opportunity for wheat farmers.

Reducing radio volume blame: test B batteries first
An article urges measuring B battery voltage before blaming the battery for low radio volume. It explains expected life for large B and BR cells, common causes of reduced volume, and a simple tube rejuvenation method. It also notes that a voltmeter helps distinguish battery versus tube issues and recommends spare tubes for quick testing.

By-Pass Condensers Aid Radio Receiver
Article explains using blocking condensers across high resistance points to keep radio frequency currents in their proper paths. Recommends 0.0025 to 0.01 µF across audio transformer primaries and between battery lines, test for leakage, and stresses larger capacity for older batteries.
Amplification Stages Boost Radio Receiver Tone
Radio frequency amplification uses extra transformers before the detector to raise signal strength, yielding louder volume and clearer audio. Two stages are typically sufficient, while some carefully designed receivers may work with a single stage.
Replacement advised for worn Rundown B batteries in radios
The article warns that even with plate voltage available, overdischarged B batteries reduce performance. It notes standard 22 44-volt RB batteries not registering above 17 volts and 45-volt detracted chat not exceeding 84 yotta may be inefficient and should be replaced to avoid noises in the receiver.
Improved Variable Condenser Design Description
Improved variable condensers are arranged in a brass housing that protects the plates from injury keeps dust out and shields the condenser from body capacity and from magnetic spraying at nearby instruments.
